School Trips
A-JIS recognizes the value of out-of-classroom educational
experiences and trips. These should strive to enhance particular
curriculum objectives, personal social development and/or develop an
appreciation of the host country. Time will be allocated within
the school day for relevant field trips. A-JIS recognizes that some
school-sponsored trips will take students out of the school environment
for extended periods of time. School-sponsored trips must be
approved by the Head or designee, with consideration being given to
security, safety and the educational value of the off-campus trips.
Planning trips will be the responsibility of the teachers and the
students going on the trips. Students are usually required to wear
their school uniforms on one-day trips and the school will provide boxed lunches.
Grade 6 Ski Trip
In order to properly mark
the students' transition from elementary school to middle school, A-JIS
arranges for the sixth graders to participate in an annual
Sixth Grade
Ski Trip. This is an excellent
opportunity for the students to share some time
together in a relaxed atmosphere outside of the school, watch the stars
at
night, and observe how the local people in the area enjoy life in a
snowy environment.
Academically students keep a diary in English and practice
polite
Japanese. This this is a truly exciting and memorable activity for all.
